The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock: Animated
An animated adaption of T.S Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock". This was created as an honors capstone project at Rutgers University in the Fall and Spring 2011/2012 semesters, accompanied by a paper explicating the poem and justifying my creative choices. The poem has been abridged, which may anger purists. Here's a link to the paper if you care to read why certain stanzas were taken out, though it was mostly an issue of time: www.scribd.com/doc/93368902/Pr...
Enjoy!

You cut out the best part: "I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker/ and I have seen the eternal footman hold my coat and snicker" Despite that, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Bravo!
left out the best line--I should have been a pair of ragged claws, scuttling across the floors of silent seas. word to all yalls mothers.

Woody Allen was quite rightly shot for that line.

yeah, what's up with that?
This is beautifully drawn and incredibly creative - it absolutely captures the tone of the poem! There are so many parts - the face in the cup, the aging Prufrock, the mermaid scene, Prufrock standing in the universe, etc. - all are nothing less than brilliant!
I loved the outro and the disturbance of the universe scene. It was a beautiful animation especially for a poem that mostly takes place inside of someone's mind.
This is a really nice animation! Great job of interpreting the poem this way :)
I was struck by the beauty and creativity of the animated version of Prufrock. Having now read the thesis explicating the poem, I am in awe of the whole project. The thesis is an eloquent analysis!
I signed into youtube JUST to like this, what a brilliant animation! Really, really excellent!
when I read these lines, I started shivering: "[But in the lamplight, downed with light brown hair!] Is it perfume from a dress That makes me so digress?
I think it’s incredibly difficult to articulate and visualise fully some parts of this poem so well done, good job.
This is stunning! I love the face in the coffee cup- beautiful.
This is brilliant! Thank you so much.
This really is rather lovely.. thank you.
it left all the best lines 'let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys'
Not the complete poem, but, a good idea of what it's all about.
Loved this! Thank you.
Wonderful. Thank you!!!
Excellent! Excellent.
Loved it
Automatic like for the portrayal of the yellow smoke as a feline
I LOVE IT
I find the criticisms of this video tedious and insidious

The best part is "I should have been a pair of ragged claws/scuttling across the floors of silent seas," but it's left out of the video. That's a shame. That's like leaving out the "To be or not to be" monologue in Hamlet.
Very good!
I really prefer picturing it myself in my head.
Fantastic

It's inside someone's mind, from what I presume a middle or upper class man who is fed up with all the formalities his life is filled with. It is so formal, in fact, that he can even imagine himself growing old and dying because that's just another tradition within these classes.

It’s about the randomness and limits to human existence in a cold universe…… either that, or just a bad case of impotence
Well done *Claps Loudly*

You cut out some if the poem. No "ragged claws" for example.

Inexplicable, and very sad, that you have edited out some of the most beautiful passages of this poem, to whit: "I should have been a pair of ragged claws Scuttling across the floors of silent seas." Here the full original recorded performance by T.S. Eliot himself: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fHWDlbONhZe2qrw.html

Yeah, I think that part is just T.S. Eliot juxtaposing life and death/positivity and negativity

No way, I love it this way.
How can anybody so lack the aesthetic cognition to (a) think animating Prufrock was a good idea, and (b) think that this is the form it ought to take, with actual floating metaphors et al?

It may not be particularily artistic, but it really helped me, as a non-native speaker of English struggling with Eliot, to visualize all the different metaphors in the poem, and that's a really useful thing to do - as opposed to bitching in yt comments. So there.

+Ccs1989 I thought it was an excellent interpretation, it's more or less what I imagined when reading it. Much better quality than the animated version of howl from the James Franco film which I thought was terrible. I'm glad that you used the original Elliott recording, his voice creates such a haunting atmosphere.
Was he talking about KFC or something?
what the hell! you cut out the poem!! you ruined it!! -_-
Wtf is this?

this was supposed to be in New York since this is a poem is in protest of the Jazz Age (1920's) this is an inaccurate animation
